Mantra programming language released
|
posted by parrt on Tuesday, October 09, 05:59 PM
Mantra is a new programming language being defined by Terence Parr at the University of San Francisco. Mantra is a clear descendant of Java in terms of syntax, but more like Ruby and Python because Mantra is dynamically typed (though mantra has type annotations). Like Ruby, Mantra has real closure support and the closure-following-method-call syntax for passing closures to functions. If Mantra has anything new and interesting, it's POP: pipeline-oriented programming or pipe-oriented programming. The pipeline statement implicitly launches threads on the actors in the pipeline and hooks up their input and output streams. The pipeline statement is directly analogous to pipes and I/O redirection on UNIX commandline.
Mantra is meant as a research platform and to teach language design and implementation. Nonetheless, it should prove a nice little language.

Emphasis in Entrepreneurship
"I wish there had been an entrepreneurship emphasis like USF's when I
was in computer science graduate school; my career has been a
combination of just that: technology and management. I hope USF's MS
students, particularly those taking the emphasis in entrepreneurship,
will consider Adobe upon graduation."
Dr. Charles M. Geschke
co-founder and Chairman of the Board, Adobe Systems
"Today's business world demands both deep technical skills and
expansive business acumen. Excellent USF CS graduates demonstrate
both these traits and BEA looks forward to hiring more outstanding
talent."
Alfred S. Chuang
co-founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board, BEA Systems
